"I Wanna Go Back" lyrics

Joy Woods & Jordan Tyson Lyrics

"I Wanna Go Back"
(from "The Notebook (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)

[MIDDLE ALLIE:]
I wanna go back, I wanna go back to the good old days
Counting up kids
Counting the lines written on our faces

[+ YOUNGER ALLIE:]
I wanna tell you your eyes are as clear as the day we met

[MIDDLE ALLIE:]
These things we forget
That I

[+ YOUNGER ALLIE:]
I am still in here

[MIDDLE ALLIE:]
I'm waiting for you

[+ YOUNGER ALLIE:]
To come let me out dear

[MIDDLE ALLIE:]
Is it time for dinner?
Is it time for forever?
I didn't know that the last time I'd leave the house
Was the last time I'd leave the house

[YOUNGER ALLIE:]
I wanna turn left and get off this road heading nowhere fast
Why is this happening, am I being punished
For something inside of my past

[+ MIDDLE ALLIE:]
Life has a funny way of speeding up the older that you get
I'm in love with all the things that I forget

[YOUNGER ALLIE:]
I am still in here

[MIDDLE ALLIE:]
I am still in here

[YOUNGER ALLIE:]
I'm waiting for

[+ MIDDLE ALLIE:]
You
To come let me out dear
Is it time for dinner?
Is it time for forever?

[YOUNGER ALLIE:]
I didn't know that the last time I'd leave the house
Was the last time I'd leave the house

[MIDDLE ALLIE:]
Take me back one day, take me back

[YOUNGER ALLIE:]
I promise I'll be good, one day

[MIDDLE ALLIE:]
Take me back one day

[BOTH:]
And I
I am still in here
I'm waiting for you
To come let me out, dear
And it's time for dinner
It's time for forever

[YOUNGER ALLIE:]
I didn't know that the last time I'd leave my house

[MIDDLE ALLIE:]
I didn't know

[YOUNGER ALLIE:]
Was the last time I'd see my house
